The Assam Cricket Association has suspended four players — Amit Sinha, Ishan Ahmed, Aman Tripathi and Abhishek Thakuri — with immediate effect after allegations emerged that they were involved in corrupt practices relating to the game of cricket.

An FIR has been lodged at the Crime Branch, Guwahati, against the said four players on Friday.

The four players, who have represented Assam at various stages, are accused of influencing and attempting to instigate some of the current Assam team players, who took part in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025 held in Lucknow.

Following the emergence of these allegations, the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) of the BCCI conducted an enquiry.

The association has also initiated criminal proceedings. “Prima facie, there appears to be involvement of the aforementioned four players in serious misconduct, affecting the integrity of the sports,” the statement said.

“The suspension of the players was done to curtail any scope of further deterioration of the situation,” ACA added.

During the suspension period, the players are barred from:

• Taking part in any State-level tournament or match conducted under the Assam Cricket Association, District Units or affiliated clubs.


• Participating in any cricket- activity, including officiating as match referee, coach, umpire etc.

The suspension will continue till the final outcome of the investigation and/or any further decision of the Association.

ACA has also directed all district associations to ensure strict compliance with this order and to inform clubs and cricket academies under their jurisdiction for the necessary action.
